Or they do show gameplay, but in small window right next to photo of seyu (i mean 声優 ), and it's less than half of trailer.

These days there is plenty of internet-ing on mobile devices. The problem is (to a large extent) Japanese started all their internet activities on shitty screens. It's really hampered the whole freaking nation in terms of internet technology. I guess they're coming around to an extent... but it's nothing like the states.
For the record, I don't like the current worldwide trend of basing website design towards mobile devices (e.g. lots of useless white spaces/wasted real estate, less customisation, fewer features, basically dumbing down everything) so I'm not saying "our" way is better. But I digress.

I only have to point out Chinese Internet websites which look equally shitty. Maybe it's some cultural preference. After all, just because we do things a certain way, that doesn't mean they have it too. Such as their preference for their (both Chinese and Japanese) banks to run on Windows XP...
